Sachi's views on the economic crisis


Many have been wondering what the crisis is doing for us babies. It certainly has not taken the shirt off my back or reduced the rolls on my belly. I still get all my mommy's attention, mom's milk, yummy homemade baby food, and trips to the park.

One day when I learn about money, I am guessing this stuff might start to get me down. But right now my wealth is measured by how much love and food I get. So, call me rich!!

Photo Shoot with Liz


My friend Liz did a terrific photo shoot with us a few weeks ago. She captured Sachi in so many precious ways--so many angles and expressions. She also captured how much we LOVE Sachi, and each other.

To the beat of her own drum

Sachi will make music of anything including sugar packets at restaurants to the light clink of my credit cards tapped together. She loves music, and now she owns a *REAL* pair of drums thanks to Reva's good friend Caroline. Her little hand, although dwarfed by these drums, is getting a decent sound out of them. Her technique's not bad either!

I urge all parents to have real instruments as toys. It is so much more fun for parents to play with this stuff then brightly colored plastic noisemakers.

Sachi's devotees

Sachi seemed to start her own sect of Jainism at the Jain Mandir last week focused on baby worship. This particular sect of Jainism is most attractive to little girls who are enthralled by Sachi's babbling. Sometimes she speaks with such gusto...perhaps the girls thought she could be channeling messages from the divine.

Over the 5 days at the temple last week, children would actually come looking for Sachi each day. It was fabulous.

Focus and Discovery

Sachi has adopted a very cute expression of focus when she is discovering new things, or manipulating objects. She sticks out her tongue just a little bit. It's the best!

I love this look of concentration...hope she keeps it for awhile. It is yet another "expression of the sachi". This one is on Venice beach. I see why she is in bliss. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

Mornings

Anil took this picture a few days ago. This is the image he sees before he leaves for work everyday.

This is my favorite time of the day...mornings with Sachi. I love seeing her first smile and hearing her first words when she wakes up. We lie there together for awhile and play in bed before we ultimately start our day.pp

Bringing Sachi to our old stomping ground

Anil, Sachi and I had a fabulous stay with our friends Varun and Shakti in Venice this past weekend.

It
was a trip down memory lane for us...walking barefoot along the walk streets and spending the day on the sand. We imagined what our lives would have been like if we stayed in Venice. The beach would be Sachi's larger than life sandbox.

Anil and I both know that it was those two years in Venice that we were happiest. Maybe someday we could return there. We would have to win the lottery to afford to live there now.
